How about an Elevator? In my former shop we had one 4'x8' centered in the building, lowered and raised by a Electric Chain Hoist . Upper Deck was for storage only. Shop was 36' wide so designing a suspension for the Hoist to hang from was a no Brainer. Crafted a Steel Truss to hang it from. The Platform had Angle Iron Rails around three Sides,at four Cornors 2" Angle Iron vertically engaged a guide at each cornor of the Platform opening. The Platform Deck was 3/4" CDX Plywood and it eventually showed wear so I put a 4'x4' Piece of 1/8" Deck plate in the Center and the wear problem was solved. Had about $1500.00 in it including the Chain Hoist. Never exceeded 600 Lbs. weight on it. Is still working and never had a breakdown in 22 years. JC
